Originally published in 2005, this book examines Roman strategies
for the appropriation of the Greek visual culture and argues that
the scholarship on this topic, dominated by copy criticism
(Kopienkritik), has not appreciated Roman values in the visual
arts. Ellen Perry analyzes the Roman aesthetics that lie at the
core of the visual conservatism - and innovation - in the art of
that civilization. These attitudes help to explain the
preponderance of copies, exact or free, after the sculpture of
great Greek masters in Roman art. A knowledge of Roman values,
Perry demonstrates, explains the entire range of visual
appropriation in Roman art, which includes not only the phenomenon
of copying, but also such manifestations as allusion, parody, and
most importantly aemulatio, successful rivalry with one's models.
